Adventures Of A Goblin

[Ding].

[Your determination has been acknowledged].

[Your cries answered].

[You have been deemed worthy enough as a possible choice of successor by the spirit of the guardian].

[You, have been chosen].

It wasn't a message but a voice that rang in his head.

He could not discern fully what the voice was saying as his consciousness was too far gone.

He could only feel himself sinking in the lava and yet he is not burning nor feeling the heat.

His body sinking rapidly into the never ending lava,

A bright light shined below his body and consumed him whole.

***

"gaspppp...."

"I...., I am alive....."

"I did not die".

"i made it".

He did not know how, but he knew he had survived falling into the lava.

A miracle is what he thought of it as, even though he did not want to.

However, there was no other explanation for this.

He got up and started inspecting his body to see how far the crack in his body had gone.

He was caught with surprise at what he saw.

His body has been restored back to normal.

Not only is the crack gone, but even the hands and feet that had been replaced with thorns have also healed back to being limbs.

His body, was now in its complete form.

"how?...."

He was bewildered at this outcome,

Not only did he survive falling thousands of feet and directly into an ocean of lava, his body that was on the verge of breaking down now restored back to normal.

He had thought of himself as being immune to any surprises after being transmigrated into another world, but this incident has rescinded his way of thinking.

It almost felt like he had a guardian angel protecting him from severe harm.

"guardian angel?, if such a thing truly existed then I wouldn't be where I am today".

"I do wonder though?, where am I?".

A narrow alley with torches lit on woods and attached to the wall lighting up the way.

He turned his back and he saw that it was a dead end.

"an invitation it seems".

He activates his Meta Strength skill and his Perception skill before making his way through the lit narrow alley.

Going step by step while accessing the surroundings for any unknown danger lurking within.

The alley is a long way in more like a tunnel, even with his perception skill displaying it like a map in his head, he is yet to see an exit out of it.

He stopped walking and adjusted his body in a combat position.

While he was walking along, the perception skill picked up an anomaly.

The floor in front of him is not correlating with the floor of the map displayed on his head with the perception skill.

He checked the virtual map once again to verify that he had not made a mistake on the location, and surely enough he did not.

Going by the map, there was supposed to be a pitfall in his front, reality however dipicts a very normal floor.

He wasn't going to buy into that.

He activates his thorn Manipulation Skill and makes a thorn ten inches long.

He bends his body down and held unto the tip of the thorn and uses the lower part to hit the floor.

Nothing happened.

He hits it harder and still nothing happened.

He lets go of the thorn and placed his hand on the floor.

He activates his thorn erection skill on the floor and continued tracing it forward.

It did not take long for there to be a response as the floor that had been hit with the thorn started falling apart and sinking all the way to where the trap ended.

Having seen that it truly was a trap and the range the trap itself covered, he could now think of ways to get across it.

He gets up and stretches his hand forward.

With his perception skill activated, he connects his consciousness to the other side of the pitfall floor and activates his thorn erection skill.

This is a trick he had try to use in saving himself from falling into the lava earlier but did not succeed due to the object of connection being too far apart and his body in decline.

This time, he tried it again with a distance he could see with his eyes and feel with his perception skill.

He imagines a single but thick thorn growing on the other side of the pitfall and stretching all the way to where he is like a tree branch.

"yes it worked".

This was originally not a reason enough for him to get excited about because he had done multiple stunts with the thorn erection skill.

A good example is the rapid regeneration of the thorns when he was up against the champion.

That was a stunt he never thought he could pull off,

it looked easy and doable on the outside, but only he knew how hard it was controlling multiple thorns at once and in a corresponding manner no less.

He had to do with one brain what would require more than four to five brains to carry out.

That was probably why his body started deteriorating when he wanted to connect mountains together with his thorns.

His brain was tasked with multiple labor in one go, keeping his skill activated, gathering mana, searching for mountains to connect with, and enduring the heat.

When he once again thought of all this, he realized how dangerous of a stunt he had tried to pull was.

If only he had more than one brain, that would make things far easier for him to accomplish.

But he has no such skills, that is why he decided to take it slow and steady while slowly adapting to it.

What he did now was him taking it slow.

He tried on long distance with multiple skills active and did not succeed, then tried on short distance with two skills in use and succeeded.

This for him, is a slight but surely an act of improvement on his part.

He grabs unto the thorn that had reached him, hanged unto it, and started pushing himself forward with it.
